Experiential Practices unit (ZAD228)

Hobart, Launceston

Introduction

In this unit, you will explore differences and intersections between virtual/conceptual and physical/experiential fields of spatial design and art practices. Through practical fieldwork, you will consider interactions with public and private spaces, objects, and buildings and/or architecture in the physical world, and compare these to the ways that people interact with mediated, virtual and augmented spaces. You will also investigate how these spaces can be intervened to maximise experience to include sensory, emotional or immersive elements.
